We went to a new BBQ place last week and one of the entertainments on offer was axe throwing.

I've never seen this before - have you?

There are a few ax throwing places around here and one of my daughters has done it with a group from her office before COVID curtailed group events.

It's not a totally risk-free activity. I saw a video of a girl throwing an ax and then ducking (fortunately successfully) as the ax bounced off the target and came flying back in her direction.

I certainly hope no one would see the words axe and throw together and think otherwise!! Eeker

I don't get it though... I mean??

What is their advertising hook?
